Sinopec's First Geophysical Exploration Project in Algeria.
Sinopec's key focus areas in Algeria include oil exploration and development, petroleum engineering, refining and chemical engineering. It has signed a new agreement with Algeria's national oil and gas company SONATRACH on the Zarzaitine oilfield that further deepens the partnership. Sinopec always holds to the principles of ensuring a high level of engineering quality and providing premium services. The desert water pipeline project, which was constructed to solve the drinking water shortages of 50,000 residents in Tamanrasset, has won the outstanding contribution award of Sino-Algerian cooperation.
Sinopec strictly complies with the relevant safety and environmental protection regulations in Algeria and continuously improves safety management, strengthens environmental control, implements green construction and protects the ecological environment and biodiversity. It has set up an electrical safety committee in the Zarzaitine oilfield that carried out 42 HSE inspections and put in 3.12 million dollars in safety and environmental protection. Sinopec is also supporting various public welfare projects such as voluntary tree planting and waste cleaning in Algeria.
Sinopec prioritizes the development of the local workforce by providing almost 1,000 jobs at the the Zarzaitine oilfield, along with opportunities for career advancement and personal growth. It's actively giving back to the local communities with concrete actions, including repairing wells in desert hinterland to provide clean water for local residents, hosting diverse culture and sharing events, celebrating cultural festivals, founding the "China Bookshelf" project to enhance cultural exchange, donating medical supplies to local hospitals, providing school supplies to local students and more, which have been widely recognized by local society.
